Description: Text to columns to a single column trashes cells on the right to the one being converted when converting dates. Converting from column A to a single output column, removes the content of column B Also, performing, for instance, Text to columns on Column A, with three output columns, affets Column D even if it should just affect columns A,B,C Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new sheet 2. Format cell A1 as text 3. Enter '2020-01-01' in A1 4. Enter 'Goes trashed' in B1 5. Select A1 6. Data->Text to columns 7. Click on 'Standard' above the Cell text 8. Select Date (YMD) (as the text is YMD, but the bug happens on all Date types) 9. Press OK Actual Results: A1 is now an actual date (formatting as number shows 43831) B1 has been trashed Expected Results: B1 shoud be preserved, as we elected to convert to ONLY ONE COLUMN Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It happens on older versions too and on different computers too (linux & older macos) The bug is independent of locales, it happens with any date format and under different langauges as well

Please, share a reduced sample file showing the issue. Could it be an hidden symbol to the right of your date-like-text?
